Can Gennadiy Golovkin finally score a win over his great rival, Canelo Alvarez?
The pair meet for a third time this weekend with every belt at super-middleweight on the line. Their first meeting in 2017 was scored a controversial draw and it was Canelo who took victory the following year.
Can Canelo prove once again to be Golovkin's 'bogeyman'? Or will the heavy-handed Kazakh get the win over Canelo on his professional record that he craves?

As of Friday, September 16, defending undisputed 168lbs champ Canelo is the strong favourite to win the third instalment of the rivalry on DAZN Bet.
In the three-way outright market, the Mexican star is a 1/5 favourite — that means you would need to bet £50 to win £10 plus your initial stake back for a total return of £60. Challenger Golovkin, meanwhile, is the 4/1 underdog. This means a £10 bet on GGG would yield £40 for a total return including initial stake of £50 if Golovkin were to emerge victorious.
Canelo vs. Golovkin prediction
The third fight of an incredible rivalry and perhaps the last time we see the brilliant Gennadiy Golovkin in the ring. At his brilliant best, Golovkin wasn't able to secure a win against Canelo despite the majority of fight observers handing him the verdict in their first fight five years ago.
In the second fight, Canelo improved a lot and was able to grab victory, and it's highly unlikley that GGG has improved since then. Although he's still the world's leading middleweight, the Kazakh star is taking far more shots than he's used to and that doesn't bode him well against Canelo.
I expect the Mexican to make a famiiar methodical start before taking over in the second half to win comfortably on points.
